Today star Brooke Boney had an embarrassing on-air slip-up while presenting the entertainment news on Tuesday morning.

The presenter was reporting on Justin Bieber's tour to Australia later in the year following his Ramsay Hunt syndrome diagnosis when she had a Freudian slip.

As she went to refer to Bieber as a singing sensation she accidentally said "sex-sation" in the on-air gaffe.

Host Allison Langdon could be heard yelling, "Oh!", while Brooke attempted to go on with her report.

However, she struggled to hold it together as she laughed through the rest of her report.

“Craigie, Craigie, are you okay?” Sarah exclaimed before Craig pulled out the loose tooth and showed off his new smile.

“What did you do, did you bite into something?” Sarah asked.

“I did, I can’t believe it,” the star replied, breaking out into another toothy grin.

“Not something you see on telly every day is it? Now I’m whistling as I speak. That’s going to be really lovely, isn’t it,” he announced.

Sarah assured him that he looked fine, saying he looked like an "adorable chimney sweep".
